Traveler, hitchhiker, photographer, drunk philosopher, dancer, adventurer, reader, cooking enthusiast, loving weirdo and happy cholita .

From Cusco-Peru. I'm an Inca descendant peruvian girl. I have a strong indigenous heritage in blood and soul, I'm a daughter of the mountains and a soldier of the Sun.

I've worked in the Medical field for several years. But I found my passion in Photography and Cinematography which I’m currently pursuing. >>Documentary, photojournalism, social issues, identity, political type of stuff.

I traveled in the Americas from Dec 2014 till March 2023.
In 2023 I moved to Sweden to explore other parts of the world, starting with Europe and Africa. Hopefully work, life and good vibes keep allowing to move forward.

Some quotes:

:::We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine. Galeano.

:::It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams. Gabriel García Márquez.

:::El amor es tan corto y el olvido tan largo. Pablo Neruda.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've had wonderful, generous, loving people in my life that have opened their hearts for me and have taught me that life's about sharing.
I'm lucky I continue to meet these wonderful people and happy I can give back.

教，学，和分享

LEARN
I've started this journey to be a sponge.
I want to learn all I can from people's lives, cultures and philosophies so I can build and add to my own points of view. I love learning pretty much anything, languages, traditions, philosophies, weird habits, anything wonderful people have to share!

SHARE
Wine and philosophy 🍷
My culture & other cultures
History of Peru
pop corn and movies.
Photography
Any other thing my free time will allow me.

Disclaimer for surfers:
If you don’t believe in universal human rights, consider yourself a-political, don’t give back to the CS community, or you use phrases such as: "I don't want to learn about this topic cause it causes me stress" , "I too complicated", "I just don't care about politics" “I don’t follow the news”…
it's best if you don't stop by 😅 you won't enjoy this household.
Start your request by saying - I read the disclaimer - thanks.
